Impacto do desenvolvimento de habilidades empreendedoras na atuação profissional do zootecnista

Abstract

Zootechnics is a profession with a wide range of opportunities, including entrepreneurship, which is little explored among professionals, but over time has become a promising opportunity, diversifying the area of activity in the Zootechnician's job market. However, despite the growth of the agricultural sector, there are still challenges in terms of encouraging and training people to develop entrepreneurial skills, as well as exploiting their entrepreneurial characteristics within Zootechnics. This shows the need for a broader training program, which trains professionals not only in the technical side, but also in management, innovation and market strategies. In addition, it is of the utmost importance that these professionals also seek to improve and train themselves. We will look at some of the opportunities in the sector, such as working in animal nutrition, consultancy and management, showing how technical knowledge combined with an entrepreneurial vision can boost this professional's entry into the job market. It also highlights the fundamental role of initiatives such as the Brazilian Micro and Small Business Support Service (SEBRAE) and university programs for students such as Empreende UFC, in preparing zootechnicians to face the challenges of the market with greater skill and security. In this way, the development of this knowledge not only strengthens these professionals but also contributes to the advancement of Zootechnics.
